COUNCIL HOLDS —
” LATE SESSION .
LAST MONDAY

;

,

Make Grant fo Firemen for
Sports Day---Will Proclaim
Holiday for Clean-up Day
---Date Set for Holding By-
Election.

The council’ held a midnight session
at .its regular meeting last Monday
evening and many questions were up
for discussion.

Mayor Bott occupied the. chair and
the following councillors were pres-
ent: Messrs. McLachlan, Hodge, Ire-
land, Devitt and Robertson. °

After the adoption. of the minutes
of the previous meeting Councillor
Mclachlan reported from the fire bri-
gade. He stated that it was the in-
tention of the brigade to hold a
sports day on May 24th, and that they
were desirous of securing a. grant

~ from the council for the this purpose.

The mayor said that since the brigade
was a volunteer one and since the
members had worked hard and faith-
fully in the discharge of their duties
in protecting the property of our cit-
izens, he thought the council should
recognize their efforts in some tang-
ible way and give them every en-
couragement in their undertaking,
The motion of Councillors McLachlan
and Ireland that the council grant the
firemen $75.00 | was. carried unan-
‘imously, _ -

The. gas fitters’ bylaw was iptro-
duced and given its first reading.
On motion of Councillors” Hodge and)

Robertson a change was made in the :

“bylaw allowing housekeepers. “to do
their own minor work without pro-
curing a.license but that same must

a! be subject to inspection and penalties

Couneillor ‘Hodge as eininna of

the water committee, suggested that

the solicitor be instructed to draw up

a bylaw giving the council authority
to charge up all arrears for water
rates, to the property. The— water
committee. also recommended: the
water rate for those on the water
“line but not connected be $3,00 per
quarter. It was decided,. however, by
the council to stay with old rate of

$4.50 per quarter, allowing the usual |

discount. The committee -reported

that the account against Mr. Gough |.)

for work in corinection with the rink

had not as yet ‘been paid and the!

solicitor was instructed to prosecute
if settlement were not made at once:
. Councillor Devitt, chairman of the
sanitary committee, reported that on
the advice of the provincial health de-

‘partment, steps should be taken to |:

test all milk gold in town. The mat-

* ter was left with Dr. Brown to ar-

range for testing. The committee
also reported that complaints had
n registered about some cesspools
not’ being properly attended to and
the satiitary inspector was instructed

‘ to prosecute all who did not live up to
. the bylaw in this respect. The com-
mittee recommended that:
clean-up day be held this spring and
that the day be proclaimed a public
‘holiday. This suggestion was fay-
orably received by the council and a
motion Was passed authorizing the
mayor to proclaim the first Monday
‘in May as a public holiday for this
pur, ose. On the

- sanitary committee a committee of
councilors Devitt, Hodge and the
mayor, was appointed to look into the
advisability of purchasing a. team of

horses and suitable wagon for doing’

the scavanging and also to look into
the sanitary conditions with the object
of suggesting
question of regulating the weight of
bread was up for discussion and a
committee appointed to look intp_ the
matter, The question of hens running
at large was brought to the attention
of the council by the committee and it
“was decided-that after the first of
horil all hens must be kept penned
up, otherwise those allowing them to
run at large will be prosecuted,

: Seed Oats Now

a - . .

Being Distributed
The distribution of seed grain is
now going: merrily on at this point.
Four cars of oats are ‘already here,
and farmers are ‘taking it away so
as to He in shape to handle/the wheat

‘hak it arrives, ~
The distribution of this seed is be-
ing handled from Winnipeg, and men
are sent out fro’mthere to look after
it. It was the intention to have these
men go from place to place, but ow-
ing to the breaking up of the roads
they wére not able to proceed as
quickly as was ‘expected. They were
to have been here ten days ago, and
as the delay was putting the farmers
to all kinds of inconvenience the Re-
view got in communication with Nel-
son Spencer of Medicine Hat to see if

-| he would use his influence in bringing

about some change in the plans
whereby the idstribution could be
started at once.- It was only a mat-
ter of a few hours till’ we got word
from "Mr. Spencer that arrangemenis
had “been made to start at once, and
on Monday at noon Mr. G. Howson,
immigration officer: for this. district,
arrived and started to work. About
twenty-five farmers were made happy
that afternoon, and: ever since there
has been a steady stream to the of-
fice opened ‘up on Fifth street, near
the station. All those who have not
yet ved ‘their oats should do so
as soon as ‘possible.

Although the seed wheat has not

yet arrived it is expected any day, and
Mr. Howson will remain: here _ till
every farmer has received his allot-
ment.
Owing to the breaking up of the
roads it has been necessary for a
number of the farmers to store their
grain here for the present.

There is probably no institution in tween Winnipeg and Vancouver, and

Canada in a better position to ‘eel

ness, and at the same time to see that
it gets its share of that business, than
the C.P.R. That compaany ix not

are going ‘to be revenue protlucing
for the company and to offer them
every inducements in their undertak-
ings. In this respect the C.P.R, has
evidently been keeping its eyes on}
Redcliff, and as a result we ate able
to announce this week that so far as
freight rates are concerned Redcliff
is now classed as a distributing point
in the same class as Winnipeg, Bran-
don, Regina, Moose Jaw, Medicine
Hat, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver,
and other large centres of the west.

Divisional .Freight Agent John
Halstead, of Calgary, was here a fow
weeks ago on his regular trip, and
Mr. Morrell, our local agent, who is
always looking after Redcliff’s inter-
ests, drew his attention to the exist-
ing freight rates and to Redcliff’s
present position as a manufacturing
centre, .Mr, Halstead was not slow to
take in the situation, and immediately
proceeded to revise the tariff rate. As

Russian Answer Is
“Eye for an Eye.”

-Berlin’s official announcement to
the Polish, government that belliger-

will be burned by the Germans has
aroused the Russian -people to the
greatést indignation, Officials who
discussed the German war office state-
ment do not attempt to conceal their

H.

Russia will counter with equally dras-
tie operations ‘against East Prussian
towns. Petrograd papers call upon
the government to adopt a strict “eye
for an eye” policy, and urge the grand
duke’s armies to follow the German
example and burn three villages or
‘estates for each one levelled by the
enemy. |

The German charge that Russian
troops in northeast Prussia pillaged
and burned is met with indignant de-
nials. If the Germans do not abandon
thein announced plans of destruction,
*) the next Russian army crossing the
Prussian border will leave in its wake
a trail of ashes. The Russians say
the Germans cry out about devasta-
tions on account of disappointment
at-their defeat north of ‘Tilsit.

Are After Orders
For Munitions of War

A movement is now on foot hy
some of the manufacturers of Medi-

~ | cing Hat and Redcliff to try to secare

some of the government orders for
shells and other war supplies. At
present all the allies are endeavoring
to get as much of this material on
hand as possible, and enquiries are
coming to Canada to see what part
of this work ca be handled here. At
present few of the factories have the
necessary machinery to turn out the
work quickly or profitably, but if a
sufficiently large order could be se-
cured the necessary machinery would
be installed at once. A delegation

from the two towns will go to ad.

PAY YOUR TOWN RATES.

J udging from reports brought
in by the different. committees
torthe council from time to time
the town officials are experienc-
ing some difficulty and no
inconvenience
by our citizens not paying their
water rates and other obliga-
tions promptly. There seems
to be a tendency: not only here
but in all towns and cities to
stand off all civic payments as
long as possible, and, if possible,
to try to get out of paying them
altogether. This is not only a
mistake, but it is unfair to one’s
self and to the town, The town
Its obli-
- gations must be met; its im-
provements kept up; its staff
paid. There are dozens of rea-

all the money that is coming to
it if the town is to keep up its
end and the councillors are to

.do what the ratepayers expect

them to do. ~~ All these things
require money, and asthe town
has to depend on the ratepayers
to get that money it is easily
seen how their work is retarded
when-it is not forthcoming. _.~

‘A WARNING.

The present indications are
that every one in-town who pos-
sibly can will have a garden of
some sort this coming summer,
Some intend going into the gar-
den business on a large scale and
_ ‘others will just zo into it in the
ordinary way to proville the nec-
essary vegetables for summer
use and to lay a supply by
for the winter. The move in

this‘direction is a wise one and|

will go a long way to improve
conditions next fall and winter.

less they are protected as far as
possible and it is the intention
of the council to do so. The

A GOOD LESSON.

The result of the voting on
the bylaws last Monday nof only
ly shows that a- large percentage
of the ratepayers are in favor
of them, but it also shows how
essential it is for the ratepayers
to turn out and Vote on every

THE NEXT COUNCILLOR.

Since the retirement of Mr.
Black from the — council there
has been much speculation as
to whom his successor ‘will ‘be.
We understand that a number
of our leading ,citizens are en-
deavoring to induce éx-councillor
Lavell to allgw his name to go
before the electors. There’ is
probably no man in town at-the
present time who could render
the town bettey service under
existing conditions than:Mr. La-
vell. He has served the town
faithfully and well in the past,
and is familiar with its business
and condition, He is also well
posted on the town’s bylaws
and municipal laws, and is thus
in a position to get right into
the harness at once. Mr. La-
vell’s defeat at the last election
was due to a combination of
causes, but to none, possibly,
than the one referred to in our
editorial under the heading “A
Good Lessén.” If Mr. Lavell
can be induced to stand the ‘Re-
view feels, like many of the rate-
payers, that he should get the

election by acclamation.

TWO KINDS OF COURAGEr

In addressing the directors of |:
his. company, ©. H. Harriman,
the great railway magnate, said:

“Tt requires two kirids of cour~

‘}age to conduct the affairs of a

raitr; system. One kind
required to cease making

provements and _ purchasing
equipment when’ business is
heavy, labor and materials high,
and money in demand. It te-
quires another kind of courage
to spend money for improve-

is

there is little business’. But it|”
is then that material supplies
and equipment are cheap, labor
is cheap and money not dear. In
‘this situation stockholders may
be saved from 10 to 20 per cent
in expenditures, a ‘that is a
isn’t it?”

. What is rigs a railroad in
this respect is also true of a
town. Mr. Harriman’s advice
might well be taken by a num-
ber of towns and cities through-
out Canada at the present time.
As a member said on the floor
of the federal house the other
day: “Nothing can be gained by
our standing idle and being pes-
simists. Let us do our best. to
meet the unique situation of the

reason for F congratulation in af-
ter years.”

, What we need now in Canada
is mutual confidence. Each man
putting his shoulder to the
wheel and doing his share of the
work to help things along, in-
‘stead of hanging back and find-
ing fault and predicting all kinds
of blue ruin for those who have
the courage to try to start some-
thing.
